On a Spiral Staircase Up the Sorcerer's Tower
A small window opens up in the rounded tower wall, allowing the outside
lights to illumine the area. A bannister formed from harnessed lightning,
rising in a spiral off the ground and through the ceiling above, gives the
only hint that a staircase even exists here. Aside from the balustrade the
room looks empty, strange magics having turned the stairs to solid air. The
stairwell continues its languid climb both up and down.

Inside a Twisted Twilight Tower of Illusion
This mysterious place is like none other in the world of foreboding mortals.
Images flicker into view, then fade again without leaving any trace of it ever
being there. Shadow demons, beasts spawned from the unlight, nocturnal fiends
that doth bring fright. Striking down creatures with their infernal diabolical
hatred. Sparkling light, dazzles, distorts reality, forming illusions, causing
sanity to fade. Beretorn darkness drifts into view, a strange funeral fog can
suddenly be seen rolling in. What is real no longer seems to be clear, scents
linger, yet what the smell is can not be explained. Without warning images of
dragons and devils twist into focus. They seem so real, while for some reason
there seems to be something missing. Music can be heard, the words are muffled
and impossible to understand. For some reason the sound is very relaxing, just
as suddenly the noise is gone. Cascading colors, shifting, swirling, into and
out of view. Another dream forms, screams, infernal deeds, planted vile seeds.
Futile struggle, victims slashed into woe, somber silence, all this caused by
violence. Blood flows out of where life no longer dwells, suffering souls, a
few forlorn fools. Might decides who is to rule, sight lies, everybody dies.
Mercyful Fate laughs as the weak are trampled over by the evil sinister strong.
Necromantia, mystical forces, so many things, eerie light descends, whats real?

The Entrance to the Great Park of Caer Tannad
This beautiful park encompasses the entire top of the Shr'nn mesa, with the
exception of the area of the keep. Originally established to beautify the
land around the prison stronghold of Caer Tannad, the park also serves to hide
the screams of the prisoners kept therein. Tall maple trees and lush grasses
dominate the landscape, the occasional oak impressing itself in your view.
In stark contrast with the rest of the city, this place of natural beauty is
kept pristine, cleaned regularly of trash and other debris. The air here even
seems fresher and clean, in comparison to the city below. The park continues

The footpath is about fifteen feet wide, comprised totally of dirt and
devoid of any but small rocks. Fifteen foot high onyx menhirs flank the path
at ten foot intervals, each stone engraven with an image of a creature from
the Tharnadian province. The area surrounding the path looks unnavigable, as
sharp rocks jut out and loose stones seems to be perched precariously upon the
mesa's side. Descending steeply, large steps have been carved into the path
to assist in the climb down to Tharnadia. The path continues west and down
